We draw artists names at random. My task was to research Frank King, creator of comic strips called Gasoline Alley. Then create a two-page comic titled corpse talk. I wanted to create a two-page comic in the style of Frank's characters from Gasoline Alley. But also keep it as comic pages rather than strips. To do this, I started with searching for examples of his work and then applying his style to create two characters representing Frank and a person who will ask questions in the corpse talk. I wanted to show it as a short interview with the artist like in morning tv-shows.
I created a few thumbnails to plan it out. I was planning to fill the first panel with a big title saying 'Welcome to corpse talk'. However, it would look a bit empty so, I decided to add characters sitting on both sides of the room like in the morning shows. After inking two pages, I scanned them and edited them in photoshop. I added frames and text. 

I'm happy with how I replicated the artist's style. However, I tried to combine his speech bubbles with diamond layout text. It did not go well. The idea started with creating square bubbles with round edges, but that's where I went wrong. I should have written bubbles around the text as Frank did it.
